Just in case anyone ever comes back to this thread wanting to know the answer - I went for the Koni damper and it appears to fit just fine.
Cheers,

Re: Koni steering damper for RHD 356A with VW steering box
Thanks guys, I think I'm going to go with the Koni damper - I've got Koni suspension so it makes sense to match the steering damper and I'm pretty confident it'll work.

Re: Koni steering damper for RHD 356A with VW steering box
Hi Simon,
The part number is 695 347 501 00. Here's a photo:
Stoddard sells the Boge replacement, but states the turning circle is reduced. I've also read on the registry that the performance isn't as good as the Koni one, but would I even know the difference

Koni steering damper for RHD 356A with VW steering box
Hi all, I've been absent for a while but slowly chipping away on my resto. I am going to reassemble my front suspension / steering soon and need to get a replacement steering damper. From hunting about on this forum and the registry it looks like the Koni damper is the best option, but I did read th...

Re: RHD 356A Coupe hand throttle length?
Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I'll go with the 817mm cable and assume that there is no difference between the LHD and RHD versions.
Cheers,
James

Re: RHD 356A Coupe hand throttle length?
Hi Simon,
Thanks for your offer! Unfortunately I think the A cable length is different to the BT6 as the cable SierraMadre lists for the BT6 is only 660mm long.

RHD 356A Coupe hand throttle length?
Hi all, It's been a while since I posted on here, but now that my car is painted I'm getting back into my restoration. I want to reinstate the hand throttle my car would have originally come with, but would like to confirm the cable length I need. From what I can tell it looks like the 356A used a h...

Re: Which headlights for a RHD A Coupe?
Thanks for all the help guys, and thanks for checking your parts stash Bob!
I will probably get in touch with Mike. The car is still a way off being back on the road, but I am trying to collect a few parts while the metal work is being done.
Cheers

Re: Which headlights for a RHD A Coupe?
Hi Bob, It appears I need headlamps like Roy has on his car. Adjusters at 12 and 9 o'clock with bosch lenses and no bias. My car was originally UK delivered so would very likely have had exactly the same lights as Paul and Roy's cars. By the way where about's in NZ are you? Sadly I don't think there...

Which headlights for a RHD A Coupe?
Hi all, My car came with mismatched headlights - one hella light with adjuster screws at 12 and 9 o'clock, and one bosch light with adjusters at 2 and 8 o'clock. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3ztTkeIOwCo/VVsSTQf5GyI/AAAAAAAADcM/xD8WuIG0ZT4/w1024-h592-no/porsche_headlights.png Is either of these...

Help with RHD throttle shaft finish?
Hi all, I am in the processing of sorting out a bunch of hardware (mostly screws, washers, nuts etc. but also some larger bits) ready to get it all black zinc plated. This is to renew the protective coating on parts that would have been originally black phospate or black oxide coated. One part I am ...

Re: nice rhd 59 A at auction this Tuesday
Jeepers!
Did anyone find out if that was a legit auction result?
I'm feeling marginally better about the (scarily) large sum of money I'm spending restoring my car now.

James
